Hi , yes, blood test results can be flawed if thyroid

hormone is taken on the morning your blood is drawn. Some people have a very

quick response to levothyroxine, with other people it takes a while to be

properly absorbed. Professor Weetman, ex President of the British

Thyroid Association and Head of all Medical Schools in the UK gave evidence at

a GMC Hearing (which I attended) stating this. It is in the transcripts of Dr

Skinner's Hearing when the Prof. was giving evidence, somewhere around Day 4 or

Day 5 if I remember right. Here is a link to the hearing. http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/skinner_hearing_transcripts.php

I will send you the List of recommended doctors privately.

I also read in another post that you said blood tests could be flawed if they

were drawn on the same day meds were taken - is that the correct

interpretation? I had my bloods taken less than 4 hours after taking my meds.

If meds shouldn't be taken on the same day as bloods do you have a link or

documentation you can point me to as further evidence to show my doctor?

Lastly, are you please able to recommend any endos in Beds/Bucks/Herts area? I

would be grateful for any help you can give.

Thank you Sheila.
